NEED TO KNOW

Game time changed from 7:30 p.m. to 8 for TV reasons after the Pacers-Celtics game was postponed. . . . Jonas Valanciunas (neck) and Terrence Ross (ankle) will travel and try to take part in Tuesday morning’s shootaround before their availability is determined. . . . Last time the Raptors were in Atlanta was a franchise-altering day. They moved Jose Calderon and Ed Davis for Rudy Gay. . . . The Hawks are still in a battle for fifth and sixth in the East. Finishing fifth means a potential second-round series with Miami. Finishing sixth avoids that. . . . The Raptors need to win one of their last two games to avoid a 50-loss season, not that it matters an awful lot.
